Kanye West

October 19, (THEWILL) – Popular US born-again rapper, Kanye West, has officially changed his name to his long-time two-lettered nickname, ‘Ye’.

According to TMZ, Michelle Williams, Los Angeles Superior Court judge, approved the rapper’s earlier plea for a change of name on Monday.

With this development, the ‘Donda’ singer will simply be known as Ye without a middle or last name henceforth.
